Friend

Cousin asked if he could invite a friend over. I didn't see the harm, so I said yes. Now they're sitting on the couch, reading Poe to each other.

Do normal kids do that?

Reading

So, uh, I guess he likes reading. Looks like a collection of works from T.S. Eliot.

Huh.

Maybe he's not completely weird.

Here

Well, my cousin is here. Quiet kid. He's kind of weird.

Coming to visit

My cousin is coming to visit today, I guess, in a few hours.

...

Dammit, and I'm going to be the only one home. Why do kids have to come visit when I'm alone?
